>>>MY BODY IS NOT YOURS TO JUDGE<<< T-shirts out June 8th --------------------------- In this campaign we invited kick ass women and non-binaries to come as they are and do what they want in our photo booth. They all talk about, work with or fight for our rights to our own bodies in various ways. ----------------------------- We have reached the very last post in this campaign series. We here by give you Kakan Hermansson. Artist, TV- and radio profile, blogger, skin care maniac, DJ and author. Her debut book "Hela Kakan" comes out on Forum Förlag autumn 2017. ----------------------------- Kakan says: "I am fat, and have always been. This meant I early on needed to find a way to relate to that, in a way that had nothing to do with the norm. I like identifying as Fat; especially in combination with other descriptions of me, such as Smart and Beautiful. You see, it is a must, both for myself, and for other fat women and non-binaries." ----------------------------- Kakan säger: "Jag är tjock, och har alltid varit, och jag var tidigt tvungen att hitta ett förhållningssätt till det, som inte hade med normen att göra. Jag gillar att identifiera mig med Tjock, speciallt i samband med mina andra beskrivningar som Smart och Vacker. Det är liksom ett måste, både för mig själv och för andra tjocka kvinnor och ickebinära."

>>>MY BODY IS NOT YOURS TO JUDGE<<< T-shirts out June 8th --------------------------- In this campaign we invited kick ass women and non-binaries to come as they are and do what they want in our photo booth. They all talk about, work with or fight for our rights to our own bodies in various ways. ----------------------------- CAROLINE MAC Cat mother, nanny, model and club organizer who lives in Tranås. Growing up in a world where the beauty norm is to be white, I thought the white body was the only right body. Due to my ethnicity I am automatically seen as exotic and sexual - an object for many to look at and that many think they can own. When I reject this behaviour from people, racism has always been the safe card for the oppressor to pull out. To provide against the prejudices having shattered ones self image, one needs to take back the time and the space that has been taken from you, and this is what I am trying to do now. Uppväxt i en värld där skönhetsnormen är vit trodde jag att den vita kroppen var den enda rätta kroppen. På grund av min etnicitet anses jag automatiskt som exotisk och sexuell - ett objekt för många att skåda och vilja äga. När detta avvisas från mitt håll har rasism alltid varit det säkra kortet för förtryckaren. För att förebygga fördomarna som rubbat ens egenbild behöver en ta tillbaka den tid och plats de tagit från en, och det försöker jag göra nu.

Bim Eriksson​ is a comic artist, author and activist. Her debut book „Det kändes lugnt när mina känslor dog“ just came out on Kartago  förlag the other week! -----------------------------

Bim says: My body is not mine. My body will never be mine. Not in this century. Maybe not in the next one either. It will at least not belong to me during my own lifetime.  But that sadness can not numb us. I want generations after us to say „Grandmothers, you did good, thanks for the way you cleared for us“ as generations have done before you and me.

A body, is a body, is a body. But not the body of a woman or a   not male individual. That body is something else. There for the  public to view, judge and have opinions about. The shame is weaved into every hair follicle and bumpy surface of skin. As if I owed someone beauty.  I don‘t. And for every time I realize that fact, for every time I allow myself to love every bump, every crease and every cane scar spreading out over my chest, back and face, I am a rebel. ------------------------------

Bim säger: „Min kropp är inte min. Min kropp kommer aldrig vara min. Inte i det här århundradet. Kanske inte i nästa heller, den kommer  i varje fall inte tillhöra mig under min egen livstid. Men den sorgen får inte göra oss passiva, jag vill att generationer efter oss ska säga. „Mormödrar, you did good, tack för den vägen ni banade för oss“ så som generationer gjort innan dig och mig.

En kropp, är en kropp, är en kropp. Men inte kvinnans kropp eller ickemannens kropp. Den är någonting annat. Till allmänhetens beskådning, tyckande och fördömande. Skammen ligger invävd i varenda hårsäckarna och gropig hudyta. Som om jag stod i skönhets-skuld till någon. Det gör jag inte. Och för varje gång jag inser det, för varje gång jag tillåter mig själv att älska varenda grop, varenda veck och varenda acneärr, det som breder ut sig på bröst, rygg och ansikte, då är jag rebell.“

To kick this Friday off, we present Vanessa Almeida​, Body activist, photographer and (in her own words) wannabe model ------------------------------- Vanessa says: My body is not yours to judge. My black body is a perfect  expression of pain,  battle, strength and beauty. Never ever is it ok to sexualize or exotify it. ------------------------------- Vanessa säger: My body is not yours to judge. Min svarta kropp är ett perfekt uttryck av smärta, kamp, styrka och skönhet. Aldrig är det okej att sexualisera eller exotifiera den.

They all talk about, work with or fight for our rights to our own bodies in various ways. ------------------------------ Meet Anastasia Michaelsdotter​; Trans activist, model and magazine editor for The New Issue​

-------------------------------

Anastasia Says: Our society and the media always tell me that just because I have a dick, I will never become a „real woman“. Society tells me : „It doesn‘t matter  how many surgeries you have or how much hormones you eat - because to us and to the media, people like you are to be talked to as a freak and a shemale. To us, your body is disgusting, problematic and weird. What are you REALLY?“ Society and the media try to kill people like me. But I refuse to die. I refuse to let other transgender people die. ---------------------------------

Anastasia säger: Vårt samhälle och media talar alltid om för mig att bara för jag har kuk kommer jag aldrig bli en „riktig kvinna“. Samhället talar om för mig att „Det spelar ingen roll lilla du hur många operationer du gör eller hur mycket hormoner du käkar - för enligt oss och media ska sådana som du tilltalas som ett freak och som shemale. Enligt oss är din kropp äcklig, problematisk och konstig. Vad är du EGENTLIGEN?“. Samhället och media försöker mörda sådana som mig. Men jag vägrar dö, och jag vägrar låta andra transpersoner dö.

Cassandra says: All my life I have hated my body. Hurt my body. Destryed my body. I have felt suffocated by my self hatred. I have tortured myself with the thought „If only I was skinny, then...“. I have constrained myself from doing things I want to do, just because my fat body has felt like an obsticle. After way to many years of trying to change my body, I decided to instead change my way of thinking. And that journey has changed all of me, and changed my whole life. Today I am 29 years old, and finally I feel that I truly love myself. My body is fucking amazing. It is soft, it is warm, it is full, it is sexy, it is strong, it is beautiful, it is mine.“ --------------------------------- Cassandra säger: I hela mitt liv har jag hatat min kropp. Skadat min kropp. Förstört min kropp. Jag har kvävts av mitt självhat. Jag har plågat mig själv med tanken „om jag bara vore smal så...“. Jag har hindrat mig själv från att göra saker jag egentligen vill göra bara för att min tjocka kropp har känts som ett hinder. Efter alldeles för många år av försök att förändra min kropp bestämde jag mig för att förändra mitt sätt att tänka. Och den resan jag har gjort sedan dess har förändrat hela mig, hela mitt liv. Idag är jag 29 år och kan på riktigt känna att jag älskar mig. Min kropp är helt jävla fantastisk. Den är mjuk, den är varm, den är rund, den är sexig, den är stark, den är vacker, den är min.

Anso and Joanna say: "We have a family together, and as a mother the biggest challenge is not to talk negatively about your body in front of your kids. It is insane that this is a challenge. But it is"

------------------------------ Anso och Joanna säger: "Vi har familj tillsammans, och som mamma är en av dom största utmaningarna att inte prata negativt om sin egen kropp framför sina barn. Så sinnessjukt att det är en utmaning. Men det är det.”
